Your hormones are what control most of the processes in your body, including metabolism, growth and development, emotions, mood, and even sexual function. It’s important to have a healthy balance because if you don’t release enough cortisol, for example, it can affect your stress management.

Since it’s so important to our health, the endocrine system often goes unnoticed. Hormones work by carrying healthy levels of hormones into the circulatory system and delivering them to organs throughout the body.

• • Pituitary gland • Pancreas
• • Ovaries and testes
• • Thyroid/hypothyroid

There are many organs that work to regulate the body, but endocrine organs are especially important. These glands deliver hormones to major organ systems and the body’s entire system is affected by their health—or lack thereof. A healthy diet helps ensure long-term the unction of these glands and systems.The list of foods to addandavoidforproper endocrine healthis similar to most related lists with a few interesting additions (or subtractions).

1. I. Pineal Gland:

Anyone who’s ever become a parent or had any unexpected disruption to their routine can tell you everything you would want to know about the effects of disturbances in your sleep cycle. Foods that are rich in vitamins B5 and B6 will help regulate the pineal gland while aiding in the production and distribution of melatonin, the hormone that regulates the all-important circadian rhythms. These foods include lentils, avocados, sweet potatoes, tuna, and turkey. Grain foods are the bread of life. Generally, these include cereals, fish, beans, and grains.

1. II. Pituitary Gland:

It’s kind of ironic that such a small gland approximately the size of a pea is primarily responsible for regulating growth in living organisms. But this small-but-mighty engine runs primarily on vitamins D and E, which means your basic group of high-protein meats, fish, eggs, and nuts can help it out. Manganese is naturally stored in bone tissue, but the pituitary gland craves the mineral for added function. Leafy greens, beans, and whole grains can only help the cause.

III.     Pancreas:

Some can benefit specifically from fruit and vegetable consumption. They should also avoid red meat, fried foods, butter, mayonnaise, and pastries.

1. I Ovaries and testes:

Some minerals are especially important for male health. For example, zinc has been the subject of a lot of research and discussion lately—leading to a lot of attention on foods rich in amino acids, such as walnuts, almonds, and whey proteins.

1. Thyroid:

Cruciferous vegetables such as cauliflower, broccoli, and Brussels sprouts have been shown to be especially effective in aiding thyroids. Experts also recommend avoiding or cutting gluten intake for the best thyroid health.

It’s not surprising that exercise leads to happiness. When you’re active, your pituitary gland releases human growth hormone (HGH) and your thyroid emits hormones that help regulate your blood pressure and more.
